It is quite touristy but I really enjoyed Sintra, recommend it to others and am looking forward to visiting again. Try reading Beyond Lisbon blog for some less touristy recommendations in that area. I’d definitely try to make time for Convento dos Capuchos and Quinta Regaleira ( I probably spelt that wrong). When I go back I want to go to Monserrate palace and the countess’ chalet.

I’ll be there in summer and I’m actually really looking forward to it so hope it won’t disappoint!

I just love it when something usual produces something unusual don’t you?

]]> Comment on Photographing Porto from above – the best viewpoints in the city by MG http://juliedawnfox.com/2013/05/05/porto-from-above-the-best-viewpoints-in-the-city/#comment-2606 MG Fri, 17 May 2013 17:32:38 +0000 http://juliedawnfox.com/?p=6235#comment-2606 I work in the place with the best view of both Porto and Gaia! I do the guides tours in the old Monastery overlooking the city – Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar. It’s possible to climb to the balcony surrounding the dome of the round church.
It’s a pitty you didn’t go there, since it’s right next to the bridge and Jardim do Morro. Here’s our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PatrimonioaNorte?ref=hl
